Diego Rivera was born 125 years ago today, in the city of Guanajuato. He studied art in Mexico City, and further advanced his studies in Europe.

Rivera’s politically charged work helped define the ‘Mexican Muralism’ art movement, while constantly exploring themes related to the physical process of human development and the consequences of the technological development.

Rivera passed away on Nov. 24, 1957.
